Pranay Mehta's past jobs
• Designed new parts for Semi Truck's Charge port Door for potential high volume production by utilizing injection molding, DFM, and DFA principles and successfully tested them. • Designed a new inlet LED with custom lens and light pipe while identifying design tradeoffs and closely working with suppliers to reduce manufacturing costs and assembly time while improving the overall product quality. • Collaborated with cross-functional teams like EE and Integration to solve various packaging and technical challenges. • Documented design changes and created detailed design drawings with GD&T for newly designed components. • Reduced the assembly time by 30% by designing a component for the Charge port Door Harness and averted a major production issue by executing a physical simulation study and coordinating with the manufacturing and BIW team. • Investigated and analyzed the variation in over 15 Model Ys' door dimensions, gap, and flush by studying and coordinating the process from the Door-line till paint to solve critical quality issues for Giga Berlin. • Performed Root Cause Analysis on a production part and implemented design change to improve quality and assembly time.
• Designed a Canfield Joint Mechanism for an Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) robot in collaboration with NASA-JPL for exploring plume vents on Enceladus. • Designed and manufactured components for a 2-DoF motion of the Robotic Planetary Explorer (Crack and Plume vent Mobility).
Tailorable nonlinear constitutive laws via microstructural geometric nonlinearity.
• Led the design team in designing "Hyperloop- The fifth mode of transport" for the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition Weekend 2017 and Hyperloop One Global Challenge. • Designed a ladder frame chassis for the pod by selecting and utilizing appropriate material and geometry. • Designed the carbon-fiber composite shell for the pod and manufactured a 1:3 scale model in order to visualize and work upon the manufacturing constraints for a full-scale prototype. • Semi-finalists for Hyperloop One Global Challenge.
• Oversaw the overall development of the team and the association by organizing and managing events in the department for students of Mechanical Engineering at SRM University.
• Co-founded and managed ASME SRM Student Section. • Planned and executed more than 25 events including conferences, competitions, workshops, and industrial visits.
• Brought down the total number of defects by 2% by carefully analyzing and correcting the welders' welding position during the longitudinal and circumferential weld on piers. • Assisted the field in-charge while examining for defects using various Non-Destructive Testing techniques.
• Worked on the Wheel assembly design for the car CR15, which competed in Formula Student Germany in 2015.
• Worked as a trainee in the Mechanical Systems domain as a structural engineer for the design of an aluminum lightweight structure for the SRMSAT V2.0.
